Unpopular Opinion: Bootstrapping is a scam.📉
I’m going to upset some people with this one. We have this idea that "doing it alone" without debt is the noble way to build a business. But when you look at the math - specifically inflation, velocity of money, and ROI - bootstrapping is actually a wealth-destruction mechanism. I wrote an article breaking down the exact math behind why the Titans (Nike, Costco, Musk) never use their own money. Find out: - Why "saving" your way to growth is mathematically impossible in an inflationary economy. - The specific "Arbitrage" cheat code the wealthy use to get paid to borrow money.
